NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovered the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0, 290 million years post-Big Bang, challenging galaxy formation theories.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovered the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0, which exists 290 million years after the Big Bang. This galaxy, 1,600 light-years across and several hundred million times the mass of the Sun, challenges current theories about galaxy formation and raises questions about how such massive galaxies could have formed so early. The discovery provides insights into how gas, stars, and black holes were changing during the early universe.
